Another wonderful week was had in Year 1 this week! The children completed their poems about noises around the school and then performed them to the class. I was extremely impressed with the way in which the children spoke confidently and clearly. I am sure that they are looking forward to sharing these with you at the next Sharing Friday!
Thank you for all of your support in home reading. I have been reading your comments and it is extremely encouraging to see how much is being done at home.
Each morning, I will ask different Guided Reading groups to change their books and they will therefore need their books out of their bags and will need to put them on my chair. If you could please remind the children of this on their particular day and, if you are unsure of their group, they know them. The timetable for this is as follows:
Monday Group 5
Tuesday Group 1
Wednesday Group 2
Thursday Group 3
Friday Group 4
Alongside home reading of their school book, could I please ask that the children continue to practise their High Frequency Words which were sent home last year from Reception. If you do not have them, then please send a note in with your child and I can get some sorted for you. It is important that the children are able to sight read these words as some are ‘tricky’ which cannot be sounded out with phonics. Short, snappy testing of these words each day will really help the children’s reading and writing!
Autumn
Today, we started to look at the months of the year and the seasons. The children understood that we are in September and that the season is autumn. In order to support this learning, could the children please look for some signs of autumn over the weekend (dry leaves etc) and bring some in to share on Monday.
Have a lovely weekend and thank you for all of your support!
